This is my 3A "Steadicam" arm I designed and built with help from homebuiltstabilizers.com. The arm is built from 6061 aluminum. Only the front section of the arm is complete. The rear section still needs springs, spring plugs, and cable. This video shows 10 lbs on weight on the end. My sled weighs 9.65. My calculations were spot on in regards to spring selection. The force required to move the arm section from horizontal to full boom up and down is very very low. I would say in the front section of this arm isoelastic performance has been achieved.
Note that the kydex arm guard has been removed for this video.
